I've only just started the game but right off the bat one thing is for sure. This game uses everything the 3DS was designed to do.
From the intro with Agnes floating around my living room and asking for my help then falling through a hole in my kitchen table I've been amazed by the use of the 3DS tech.
Rebuilding the village using people you've met using streetpass
The ability to summon friends into battle (at least their powers) and offer your strength to others who are playing the game.
All I can say is wow!
All other developers should look to this game for design ideas because frankly THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!
How the game itself holds up well it's too early to tell but I have high hopes
Enough of this, I have to get back to helping Tiz rebuild his village.

When we're out together lounging cheek to cheek
i keep hearing great things about this game from people!!!
Sounds like a cool game. Too bad I don't have the hardware to play it on.
I copy is still unopened. I may not get to it until I go to work Mon. night.
Now if they can make a panda platformer using these design techniques I'm sure it will be particularly popular.
Dang, so many good 3DS games. I'll get this eventually.
I never seem to tire of those panda pics 
That intro really surprised me, I just wasn't expecting that to happen.
I just finished the demo, now to start on the main game.
I am so screwed then given that my 3DS has it's 3D shut off along with StreetPass =(
